It was with a strangely deflated feeling in his gut..

Harvard biologist Mohammed AlQuraishi made his way to Cancun for a scientific conference in December. Strange because a major advance had just been made in his field, something that might normally make him happy. Deflated because the advance hadn’t been made by him or by any of his fellow academic researchers. It had been made by a machine.

DeepMind, an AI company that Google bought in 2014, had outperformed all the researchers who’d submitted entries to the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) conference

In his post, AlQuraishi describes the gamut of emotions he experienced at CASP. He discusses his initial melancholy — he felt like he and the other academics had been made obsolete — and how he ultimately overrode that feeling “as my tribal reflexes gave way to a cooler and more rational assessment of the value of scientific progress.” His meditation struck me as important, because if we’re going to solve high-impact problems, we need to find a way to be psychologically open to the notion that our own minds will not always be the best tools.

Today's far left are almost identical to how the religious right acted in the 80s and the 90s.

It's your time to be the puritanical, moral busy-bodies who think of everything in terms of black and white.

The far left acts like a religious cult, who doesn't tolerate dissent or accept nuance.

Sorry you don't realize this.

There are famous Leftists who get death threats because they don't outright claim that they hate Trump.

That's what you guys are now.

What kind of gotcha is this?

Tim is absolutely correct.

Remember what I said about the far left not accepting nuance?

He IS a Leftist.

He openly disapproves of Trump and talks about he'd rather have Bernie in just about every video.

He focuses on the mainstream media's screw ups, and encourages deeper fact-finding methods within journalism.

So when the media fucks up and prints fake news stories about Trump, he covers it.

Let me know when you find a video of him praising Trump.

I won't hold my breath because you won't find it.
